Fred's description is correct and the only way to get the shaft out as far
as I know. The shaft doesn't go through the firewall. Once the passenger
and driver's sides are loose, you can rotate and turn the assembly around
and withdraw the accelerator pedal through the firewall hole. It doesn't
look it, but it will fit once the bushing supports are removed. At least
that is how I remember removing mine.

Fred:
Thanks. I still don't think this will work with mine. If you look at
MOSS's catalog, page 15, it shows the 2 mills pins going through
what the manual calls the connecting bush. If you notice, the connecting
bush has an offset shaft, the smaller outer diameter is what the bush
rides on and the larger outer diameter is what the shaft goes into. That
larger diameter "lip" to the bush won't go through the hole in the
bearing. So, even if I unscrew the 4 screws holding the plates, the
shaft can't slide through on the passenger side footwell because the
bush won't fit through the center hole of the shaft bearing. If I can
disengage the shaft bearing from the shaft by sliding it toward the
passenger side, the rest is easy. Same with disengaging the pedal
assembly from the connecting bush. The pedal assembly would just
come out into the footwell, leaving me with the bearing, the bearing plates,
and the connecting bush. My problem is that I've drilled that outer mills
pin out on the driver's side and nothing wants to disengage.
It sounds like we have a different set-up? Thanks for the assistance and if
you
have any other ideas, let me know (you may hear a scream coming from the
North later this afternoon!).
